ExceLETTERNews of EXCEL TECC • Mayfield Excel Technical Education Career Consortium

by Nathan Bishko

Back in 1999, I began teaching Physical Education and coach-ing basketball in East Cleveland at Mayfair Elementary and Shaw High School. I had just purchased my first cell phone, rarely used email, and I knew hardly anything about “vocational education pro-grams.” Fast forward 20 years and it is astounding how much things have changed. It seems like every high school student and adult has a cell phone, I receive and send over 100 emails per day, and most importantly, I have fallen in love with Career Techni-cal Education. Welcome to Excel TECC, the best consortium of high schools and CTE programs in the state of Ohio. Enrollment is at its highest ever for our programs, we continue to strengthen our college articulation agreements with local community and state colleges and universities, and students continue to have authentic, real-world learn-ing experiences through their Excel TECC program. I encourage all of our current students and parents to monitor the Excel TECC website and twitter handle for pertinent information and updates through-out the school year. To all of our sophomore students across our 11 high schools, I want to encour-age you to enroll in an Excel TECC program—it will truly change the direction of your high school career for the better! Should you have any

Skate Park Project Set for Install this Fall!by Mark Stevens, Instructor

Excel TECC Welding is back at it, finishing the city of Eastlake Skate Park which was started last year with the Excel TECC CADD Program and Eastlake city leaders. Each and every one of the 35 junior students from last year’s class have moved up to senior status to see the project through to the end. The new class of 35 juniors are ready to learn marketable cutting and welding skills to fabricate the last of five skate park pieces. Mr. Stevens and Mr. Kirch-hevel, with the assistance of Mr. Ebbert, are eager to guide all 70 welders to the finished product. Four ramps of the five-ramp skate park have already been constructed. Fabrica-tion of the last large ramp began immediately with the start of this school year. All five pieces of the new park will be installed and ready to roll on this fall!

CADD Engineering Technologyby Craig Schmidt, Instructor

The 2019-20 school year is off to a great start in CADD Engineering Technology! We began the year with a full junior class with 26 stu-dents from Aurora, Beachwood, Brush, Chagrin Falls, Mayfield, North, Orange, Solon, South, and West Geauga High Schools. Many of our students took engineering and CAD courses at their home schools during their freshman and sophomore years and chose our program to build on those skills. And, 63% of CADD students are also taking AP,

PSEO, and CC+, proving it CAN be done. Congratulations to the CADD Class of 2019 for earning $1,147,500 in schol-arships! This shatters our program’s old record by almost $500,000! And, congratulations to 2019 CADD graduate Karen Argie for winning the Excel TECC

ESSR - Fit for a New School Year! by Justin Murphy, Instructor

The Exercise Science & Sports Rehabilitation Healthcare Program had a great year last year – culminating in the graduation of our first class of ESSR students! This first group of seniors reached a number of mile-stones and helped build the foundation of the program for future stu-dent success. As an instructor, it has been awesome to see these students grow as individuals and as young exercise science professionals follow-ing their interests. The field of exercise science covers many different career paths, and we now have graduates pursuing post-secondary opportunities in physical therapy, occupational therapy, cardiac rehab, physician assisting, pre-medicine, military service, radiology, personal training, and strength & conditioning. These different pursuits will add to our program’s depth as we grow our alumni network of exercise sci-ence professionals. This year’s class of ESSR seniors is also very special. All 24 students in the class passed the AMCA Physical Therapy Aide Certification this past May. The combination of extracurricular and academic achieve-ments of members of the class is impressive, and they are poised for an outstanding school year. Students are looking forward to collaboration projects with other Excel TECC programs, HOSA competitions, field trips and internships. And, we are very excited to be developing more community health and fitness programming; including a high school fitness competition, a Prom-Fit program, older adult exercise plans, athletic development programs, and original fitness classes – designed, marketed and lead by ESSR students.

Construction Trades Swings Into New School Yearby Rick Zivny, Instuctor

All hammers are in full swing as our Construc-tion Trades class begins a new school year. Returning are 25 seniors that are excited to finish the year and gear up for their careers in construction. Some will be going off to college for construction management and architecture and others will be entering the workforce in the carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and ma-sonry fields. We also have 30 new juniors that are also excited to learn the many different trades that are taught at our facility. The junior stu-dents will be building two ranch style homes this year while the senior students will be building a two story colonial style home. As always the senior class will be going out in the community doing some outside work projects. If you need some work done on your home please feel to contact us at 440-527-8488 to discuss the possibility of our class taking on your projects.

Director’s Scholarship. Last Spring, CADD juniors and seniors earned our first industry credential - the 10-Hour OSHA Training. Luke Sarris and Joey Suchy, already the 2019 SkillsUSA Ohio State Champions in the Additive Manufacturing category, joined over 6,500 state champions in over 120 contests at the SkillsUSA National Cham-pionships in Louisville, KY last June. Luke and Joey earned 17th place, establishing them as one of the top twenty Additive Manufacturing teams in the U.S. They have already decided to compete in the Addi-tive Manufacturing contest again this year! CADD students will have the opportunity to compete in selected SkillsUSA regional and state contests, as well as the senior Student Model Home Contest. Juniors will have an opportunity to compete in the L.E.A.F. Umbrella Contest, where they will design fixtures to suspend umbrellas decorated by area high school students, at Great Lakes Mall and Lake Erie College. Our CADD program was recently named a Community Chapter for e-Nable, a global network of makers who provide 3D-printed prosthetic hands at no charge to recipients. You can learn more about our history with 3D-printed prosthetics at facebook.com/enableetcadd . For the ninth year, CADD seniors are collaborat-ing with Construction Trades students on the annual Homes Project. CADD seniors are designing the homes and will pre-pare construction documents using the Autodesk Revit application in September. Construction Trades students will build the homes through-out the school year. With over 30 collaborative projects - both large and small - com-pleted over the last four years with district schools, businesses, and area cities, our program continues our culture of collaboration this year. CADD students have already begun work on three small projects and will soon begin work on projects with two cities.

The Mayfield Cosmetology program is off to a great start and would like to welcome the new junior students to the program. The seniors are excited to have opened their customer clinic to the pub-lic and will be preparing to take their State Exam this May. The juniors have already been busy learning their facial manipulations, cutting hair and starting to learn their other State Board of Cos-metology procedures. Hours of operation are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday’s 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It is recommended that you make an appointment by calling 440-995-6740. If you need a price list just call us and we can send one out to you. It is a great time to schedule a manicure or pedicure before winter comes. We look forward to seeing you this year. We will be taking our senior class to the Premiere Columbus Hair show this October. A number of big name artist in the beauty indus-try will be demonstrating at the show. This is a great opportunity for our students to experience this educational show. A number of vendors will also be demonstrating their products. We are so excited to be attending this show for the first time. Our senior students will be starting their Internship in a salon in September and continue through January. This will give the students the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with a Managing Cosmetolo-gist and will be able to perform the skills they have learned in their program. Our students have been placed a number of salons in all of the school districts that send students to us. If you see them out there in a salon please say “hi” to them.

Business Academy - Dress for Successby Lisa Simon, Instructor

In Business Academy, as in the business world, professional dress is expected and is the norm. Local business owners and professionals enter our classroom on a weekly basis and because any of these mentors can become future em-ployers, our students of Business Academy need to be prepared to wow them. Profession-alism, promptness, preparedness and being polite are emphasized as good soft skills to have in any business environment and these attributes are stressed daily at the Northern Career Institute. In addition to professional dress, the students of Business Academy have also shown quite a potential this year for team work. Several teambuilding activities already completed have been presented as stepping stones to future group projects. As the school year moves ahead, these activities will assist our students as they prepare to write business models, compete in a Stock Market Challenge, present at THINK FEST and become members of DECA and Junior Achievement. Our busi-ness advisory board members have expressed that being able to work in a team environment is crucial for future success so our lessons this year will reflect that business norm. In the photo you will see students in the Business Academy senior class working together on an escape room business concept. This is one of many creative ways that stu-dents grasp business concepts.

ExceLetter • Fall 2019 5Excel TECC SkillsUSA2019 National Competitionby Ron Suchy, SkillsUSA Lead Advisor

During the week of June 24-28, 2019; six Excel TECC students represented the Great State of Ohio at the 2018 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Championships in Louisville Kentucky. The SkillsUSA Championships are competitive events showcasing the best career and technical education students in the nation. Contests begin locally and continue through the state and national levels. Through an investment from business and industry partners of over $40 million, the event occupies a space equivalent to 20 football fields. In 2019, there were more than 6,400 contestants in 108 separate events. Over 2,000 judges and contest organizers from labor and management make the national event possible. The philosophy of the Championships is to reward students for excellence, to involve industry in directly evaluating student performance and to keep training relevant to employers’ needs.Each individual or team competed in a pool of contestants who represent the state champions of every state and territory of the United States of America. Fire/EMS Junior Cheyenne Earl, of North High School, competed in the highly challenging First Aid-CPR/EMT competition. Cheyenne took full advantage of this amazing learning opportunity. She learned about the skill level needed to compete on the national level and even more so, be effective and successful as a professional. Cheyenne has set her goals high for the 2020 competition season, and knows how to achieve them! The CADD team of Mayfield juniors Luke Sarris and Joey Suchy finished 17th nationally in the cutting edge, Additive Manufacturing contest. One of the few teams there from the Class of 2020, the competition and experience was intensive. Luke and Joey look forward to returning to SkillsUSA competition in their senior year. Madison Basak, from Mayfield High School, a member of the Fire/EMS program, finishes fourth in the Professional Job Interview event. Also a member of the Excel TECC class of 2019, Madison faced competition from over 50 other champions from across the country. This was Madison’s second consecutive National Finalist finish after earning the National Silver Medal for a 2nd place finish in 2018. The Web Design team of Blaise Lombardo, of Willoughby South and Chris Seitz of Mayfield; members of the ITP Class of 2019, earned 4th place nationally in the Web Design Contest earning distinction as National Finalists. Blaise and Chris improved one place over their junior year finish of 5th nationally in 2018. This marked the third consecutive year a Web Design Team from Excel TECC represented Ohio in the Web Design national contest and this year again scored the best national finish in Web Design in Ohio SkillsUSA history. In all it was an amazing week in Louisville, and our Excel TECC team proudly represented themselves, our programs, school,

community and state. We are all excited for our SkillsUSA Team’s prospects for the 2020 competition season. If you or your company or organization sponsors Career-Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) or would be interested in becoming involved with SkillsUSA, please contact Mr. Ron Suchy, Lead Advisor at rsuchy@mayfieldschools.org or by phone at 440-995-6774. Mentorship support, logistical support, guest presenters, programming providers, and financial support is always needed and appreciated.

Landscape Construction and Designby Ed Tuhela, Instructor

The Landscape Construction and Design students are gearing up for a challenging fall term. There are several big projects on the hori-zon. The first big project is the design and installation of a founda-tion planting at the new Construction Trades building. The students spent some time on site, took measurements, researched plant material and took a look at the existing conditions. A plan will be presented shortly to Mr. Bishko and then the work will begin. Next spring at the Construction Trades open house, take a look at the new plantings. Future projects were discussed with Mr. Zivny, so stay tuned for other works. The students will also be installing a planting consisting of vari-ous trees in the memorial garden at Saint Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church. Some work was done to the memorial garden and the mem-bers wanted to create a more pleasant environment with new trees in the area. As an FFA community stewardship project, the students went to Sims Beech to conduct various water monitoring experiments includ-ing testing for water pollution, water PH, bacteria levels, counting animals, boaters and people and collecting trash. The trash is clas-sified and weighed. The information is sent to the Alliance for the Great Lakes, which has an area-wide data collection system All of the data is collected and monitored to study in what direction the environment is headed. To date, over 37,583 pounds of trash was col-lected and classified. Over 14,000 volunteers took part in this study so far, with over 34,000 of hours of work. The students are hoping that the Great Lakes will continue to improve and move in the right direction. The students are gearing up for the ever popular Ohio High School Landscape Olympics held at ATI through The Ohio Nursery and Landscape Associa-tion. The events the student will be par-ticipating in include installing a paver pa-tio and block retain-ing wall. Installing a working irrigation system from a diagram, installing a working landscape lighting system from a wiring diagram, running a mini excavator, per-

forming various operations with a skid steer, doing a mock-up property maintenance with a ztr, walkbehind mower, string trimmers, head shears, and a chain saw, and driving a truck with an enclosed landscape trailor through an obstacle course which includes backing up. The whole competition is set up and judged by landscape industry representatives. These are the kind of skills the employers are looking for. This gives the students a chance to learn and practice these skills with the industry. It is a fantastic way to connect student and indus-try reps that the students enjoy and look forward to.

ACEby Becky Gard-ner, Instructor

Agriculture Career Explo-ration class are very busy completing fall work projects in lab and working around the grounds at Gates Mills Environmental Center. The ACE class was awarded with a utility cart to use to complete tasks around the center. All students before they are permitted to operate the Atlas must complete training, pass a written safety test and driving test. ACE will also share their time reaching out to the community by volunteering all year with two elementary schools in the consortium. They have chosen a kindergarten at Richmond Heights Elementary and a 2nd grade class at Lindsey Elementary school in Chesterland. The students will be in the classroom almost once a month teaching horticulture skills. Topics include planting fall bulbs, making a corsage, parts of a plant, holi-day centerpiece, and decorating a potted plant for Mother’s Day.

While complet-ing the various hands-on projects the students are rapidly learning tree identification before fall begins and the leaves have fallen. Students are also taking an interest in studying plant identifi-cation for a district con-test in October at Holden Arboretum. We will continue the rest of this growing season with fall clean-ups, winterizing gardens, and help with the seasonal shows and displays. Check out the students’ work and other various activities held at CBG and the Holden Arboretum by visiting cbgarden.org. We also are busy volunteering at 2 local urban gardens in Cleve-land. This is where the class learns about harvesting organic herbs and vegetables. The produce is sold at the local markets by the Green Corps. The students pick, wash, package and store the produce fresh for the markets. Being sold through September and October are tomatoes, greens, basil, dill, peppers, carrots, eggplants, squash, and beans. The money raised goes directly back into the Midtown Garden and Buckeye Learning Farm that houses the Green Corps Program. Also please sup-port your local farmers for they give you fresh, more nutritious, better tasting, cheaper, better for the community and the Earth produce! Family Fall Festival - Floriculture and Garden Operationsby Kym Judson, Instructor

The students have been hard at work preparing for the Family Fall Fes-tival at The Gates Mills Environmental Center held on October 5th. The event is sponsored by the Wildcat Community Foundation. The students take pride in preparing the grounds for the big day. Students volunteered on Saturday to help with parking, the tractor ride, games, and clean up. Our students are dedicated to make this a fun day for families. Families browsed through the vendors while kids enjoyed painting pumpkins and bouncing in the bouncy house.

Auto Collision… Painting More Than Vehiclesby Lou Masitto, Instructor

Although the students in the Auto Collision program regularly learn to use body filler, tool safety, life safety and are in the paint booth working on all types of vehicles, this year the students opened their school year by assisting the Willoughby-Eastlake City School District with repurposing old lockers to look brand new. In partnership with the school district’s maintenance union, the students turned what could have been considered trash, into usable storage for the School of Innovation and both campuses of the Northern Career Institute. In doing so the juniors were able to practice the fine art of proper sand-ing techniques while the seniors perfected their craft of finishing and painting. It was a collabora-tive effort which benefited many students in the school district.

Willoughby-NCI Cosmetology Students Participate in Fashion Showby Mindy Montello & PJ Teske, Instructors

An exciting opportunity is around the corner for the Cosmetology stu-dents of the Northern Career Institute (NCI). This year the NCI Cosme-tology program, offered through the Willoughby-Eastlake City School District, is collaborating with Haute Magazine. The students of the pro-gram will have the opportunity to use their skills and practice their craft with professional models as their clients for multiple professional photo shoots and fashion runway shows. In addition, these future cosmetolo-gists will be headed to Columbus for the 2019 Hair Show where they will learn while mingling with industry professionals. We are excited to announce that our beautiful clinic floor opened in Septem-ber for clients from 11:30am to 2:00pm. We ac-cept walk-ins but encourage appoint-ments by calling 440-602-5140.

New Year, New ToolsAuto Technologyby Nate Inbody, Instructor & Sherry Ebbert, Project Assistant

The Automotive Technology program, housed at the Northern Career Institute in Willoughby, is looking forward to an excel-lent year. Thanks to a generous grant offered to us by the Babcock Foundation we were able to purchase $15,000 worth of tools for our program. Beginning this year, each workstation will have its own tool stor-age units containing the tools necessary to perform general maintenance and repairs to the customer service vehicles. Students will save time because they do not need to rely on the “shop tool room” to find the appropriate tool, and in the automotive industry, time is money! This will also give the students more of a real world look into the industry, which is always a top priority. We started customer service when we come back from Labor Day break and are enjoying using the new tools.
